Project 333: Another week, with travel, work, and the gym

Last week I experienced another small hitch in my Project 333- my striped tee shirt is NOT going to be wearable for the summer, so I've replaced it. (Yes, with another striped tee shirt...)   Otherwise, I have been delighted with my choices, so far.

My travel wardrobe, based on two pair of black pants - one silk, one cotton twill - worked out well too.  It was warm enough that I didn't need to wear my scarves, and one day I pulled off my sweater mid-day, but that was part of the plan. Layering makes it possible to pile on, or peel off, depending on what you encounter.

So Monday and Tuesday I dressed out of my suitcase - Monday, I did some gardening, and Tuesday we flew back to Chicago. (yes, on Monday I borrowed casual shoes from my mother, so my loafers wouldn't get destroyed!)

Wednesday back at work was with my black "suit", and Thursday was a sort of black dress, with a silvery grey sweater layered over.  This was the only warm day this week, so I took bare legs out of hibernation!

And Friday I chose a solid column of black, with my linen tweed jacket, with a pearl necklace to lighten things up, and to echo the pearly shades of my coat.  Saturday, of course, is the gym...

So far, this is my favorite 333.  I'm not getting bored with all black, thanks to some strategic layering and accessories.  The simplicity and the clarity that this "uniform" is bringing to my mornings is very welcome.  The striped tee shirt error was simple negligence on my part; one can never assume that clothing which was perfectly perfect in October will REMAIN perfectly perfect six (un-examined) months later...
